I have checked a preliminary implementation into CVS. See http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=cssc for information on how to build CSSC from CVS. The code is not fully ready for release yet, because some of the questions below remain unanswered: > 1. How does SCCS handle an I/O error on the l-file? Is the l-file > deleted? What happens to the g-file? I still need an answer to this. > 2. What mode is the l-file created with (don't forget to take account > of the umask)? I still need an answer to this. > 3. How are multiline comments handled? Do they have a tab-prefix, or not? > 4. Are leading tabs in the comments handled specially? > 5. What about MR numbers, flags, and included/excluded deltas?

What does "get -p -L" do? How about "get -L -p"? I believe I have resolved this (the delta summary goes to stderr in both cases), but this could stand a little checking. > 7. If l.foo is a broken symbolic link, does "get -l s.foo" follow it? I still need an answer to this.
